Frequently Asked Questions

Where are your cabins located?

Our cabins are located all around Townsend, Tennessee. Some are in the city limits of Townsend and some in the Wears Valley Area sitting between Townsend and Pigeon Forge. All are very convenient to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cades Cove, and Little River. Townsend, TN is located just 15 miles to the west of Pigeon Forge so all of our cabins are "just down the road" to Dollywood, Splash Country, Dinner Theaters, well known restaurants and more.

How do I find the cabin once it is rented?

Smoky Cabins will either e-mail or USPS mail you specific directions to the cabin where you are staying. These directions take you directly to your cabin street by street and turn by turn. We suggest that if you are going to use a GPS system, you also take along the directions that we send to you. GPS systems are not always accurate in the mountains.

Do you charge any "fees"?

We do charge a Reservation Fee depending on the size of your cabin.

Do you charge a Cleaning Fee?

We do not charge a cleaning fee. Before you depart from the cabin, please follow the Check-out procedures. We do expect to have to change linens, sweep/mop floors, dust, clean bathrooms & hot tubs and do other minor cleaning. We DO NOT expect to have to pick up trash, food, etc from the floors, clean dirty dishes, move furniture back to it's original places, find dirty dishes in the cabinets, etc. If we have to do those things, we reserve the right to charge the credit card on file up to a $100.00 cleaning fee.

What are your check out procedures?

When you are ready to leave please put all dirty towels in the bathtub or shower, leave beds used unmade, make sure all garbage is gathered and put into the outside receptacles (no loose trash please, bags only) and all the dishes you used are to be cleaned and put back up. Housekeeping will do the rest. If you moved any furniture, then you must move it back where it was. If you disconnected our TV cables to play games, then you must connected the TV and cable cords back. If you do not and we have to send out a TV repairman to hook back up the TV to cable or satellite to get the TV to work then you will be charge for the service call of $ 50.00. We are sorry you have to leave, but have a safe trip home and hope to see you again.

How can I reserve one of your cabins?

It's very simple, you can either make the reservation online by clicking "Book Now" and filling out the proper form or giving us a call on our toll free number. We answer the phone from 8:00am - 10:00pm. We will need some information from you such as your name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address, and how many guests.

What is the deposit requirement?

We require 1/3 of the total due to be paid at the time of reservation. We accept the 1/3 down payment in the form of a credit card (Discover, Visa & Mastercard) or personal check/money order. If you chose to pay by personal check or money order, it must be received in our office within 10 days or the cabin could be offered to someone else. This is not in addition to your total rental fees. The balance of your reservation is due 2 weeks prior to your arrival date. If the balance is not paid by check prior to this date, we will automatically place the balance on the credit card on file.

What time is Check in/Check out?

Our check in is 3:00pm and check out is 10:00am. We try to make this as convenient as possible for our guests but we do have to clean the cabins between each visit. Depending upon the size of the cabin, it could take 4 hours to clean it. If you leave after 11:00am and do not have prior approval to stay late, you will be charged a $100.00 non-refundable late fee. There are times that we might be able to give to permission for a late check out, just ask. We'll try to work it out for you.

What is the cancellation policy?

Due to holding these accommodations and in consideration of the fact that we did not rent this unit or these dates to others, we cannot return any payments unless you cancel 30 days prior to your arrival date (30 days). If you cancel and the date is greater then (30 days) from your arrival date we will refund your deposit, less our administration fee of $50.00. If you cancel less then 30 days to your arrival day, you forfeit all monies, unless we can rent out the cabin that you reserved. If we do, we will send you a refund of your deposit minus the cancellation fee of $50.00.
